This is where Pastor Chuck answers frequently asked questions about God and other spiritual things.

If there is a God, Why is there suffering in the world? This week a young single mom asked me, "Why is there pain and suffering?" The fact of suffering often causes people to have doubts about God. C.S. Lewis pointed out this problem with these words, "If God were good, he would wish to make his creatures perfectly happy, and if God were almighty he would be able to do as he wished. But the creatures are not happy. Therefore God lacks either goodness, or power, or both." So if God is all-powerful and he is good, then why is there suffering? more

For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." more
